    Default Question About Hazmat Endorsement!!!!

    I am applying for a hazmat endorsement and not sure what the meaning of "X" or "H" Endorsement is.
    Looking to see if anyone may know what the difference is?
    I am looking to go back OTR and wanting to get the Hazmat, but when I went to fill out the application for HME it asks me what endorsement I want.. "X" or "H".......

    ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE GREAT!

    Thanks Rev. but now if I have "H" endorsement does that mean I can drive any commercial vehicle including tankers with hazmat or is that "H" just for like if I was to haul a 53ft. box. and then later on if I wanted to get into tankers I would need "H" and also "X" endorsement???

    If you get the tanker endorsement (N) and the Hazmat endorsement (H), you will have an X endorsement on your license.

    if you want to pull a tanker with hazmat, you have to have the "x" endorsement. "h" will let you pull any hazmat except tanker. "t" will let you pull tanker WITHOUT hazmat. the "x" is just tanker and hazmat endorsement combined into one, go ahead and get the x endorsement even if you dont plan to use it. it's only another 5 bucks..

    The tanker endorsement is (N), not (T). (T) is doubles/triples.

    I suppose I'm a li'l confused about this now ...

    if I've already got a tanker endorsement, and I get the Hazmat endorsement, is it automatically an X, or would I have to get a separate endorsement to pull hazmat tankers?

    You are right it will become a X. and that is all you need to pull hazmat tankers

    You actually will have whatever endorsements you already have plus any new ones you test for ie. If you test for hazmat, you will get the X ADDED to your license.
